Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

He Yuzhu returned to the compound and received a message from Yan Bugui that food books were being distributed;
At the end of 1953, the supply standard for ordinary residents was 28 kilograms per person per month;
For government employees and students in secondary schools and above, an additional 4 catties will be added on top of the average resident, which is about 32 catties.
Employees of state-owned industrial and mining, transportation, construction and other enterprises will receive an additional 10 jin on top of the general ration for residents, or about 38 jin.
Other residents with urban hukou but no job will have a monthly ration of 28 kilograms;
Students, teachers, and government staff have a monthly ration of 32 kilograms;
The monthly ration for workers is 38 kilograms; for heavy manual laborers it is about 50 kilograms;
The current standard has been changed to 3 catties for infants, 6 catties for children, 8 catties for children, and 21 catties for adults;
Indicators for college and high school students, government officials, and special occupations increased slightly;

In the past, there was no strict regulation on the proportion of grain supply, but this time there was a division, with grain coupons being divided into coarse grain coupons, flour coupons, rice coupons, etc.
Flour accounts for 20% of the total ration, rice accounts for 10%, and the rest is coarse grains such as cornmeal and sweet potato chips;

Sometimes there were also grains such as sorghum flour and fresh sweet potatoes. When the new standards came out, everyone felt that they might not be able to eat enough, and suddenly their faces were worried;

Especially the Jia family, Jia Zhangshi had no fixed quota, Chunnier moved her household registration to the city when she took over, and the child followed her mother, so naturally she had an urban household registration, and only Jia Zhangshi was from the countryside;
In other words, Chunni'er weighs 21 kilograms and has to share her food with Jia Zhang. It would be strange if she was full, as it can only help to relieve her hunger!

The Jia family was special, and other families were not well fed. Even Liu Haizhong, who worked the most labor, had to eat about 50 to 55 kilograms. Even so, there were still a lot of grains.
Why does Liu Haizhong in the play eat fried eggs? It's not that Liu Datou likes to eat, but he can't cope with heavy physical work without eating;

If you are not well-nourished, you can't swing a hammer, and a blacksmith can't lift a tool. Is this the rhythm of retirement? Would the workshop director agree? Eating meat every day is fine, but where are the meat tickets?
Compared to meat coupons, eggs had fewer restrictions. All you needed was a food coupon. With more than 20 households in the compound, Liu Haizhong's needs could definitely be guaranteed.

Starting from New Year's Day in 1958, Beijing's eggs began to be supplied in limited quantities. With the Beijing City Residents' Non-staple Food Purchase Certificate, each household was supplied with one catty of eggs per month, and "large households" with more than ten people were supplied with two catties.

Many families in the compound had difficulty in getting food, so how could they buy eggs? The Liu family could naturally use other people’s purchasing certificates to buy them;
The reward of one egg every three months is enough to supply the eggs Liu Haizhong needs!

Some netizens complained that Liu Haizhong ate alone and would not let his children eat even if they wanted to, which was actually a bit biased;

The whole family couldn’t afford to eat it, not because they had no money, but because the ration was only one catty;

Liu Haizhong’s income is naturally not low, but it’s not rationed. How can he feed the whole family every day?
According to this standard, even though the He family has a large population and all of them have urban household registration, the monthly supply is less than 100 kilograms. There is pressure, but who can blame the He family for that?

He Yuzhu had already prepared the cornmeal residue steamed bread, which was processed so that you wouldn't know it was not steamed bread until you put it in your mouth.
He Yuzhu had prepared it several years ago, so that his family could safely get through the difficulties, and there was no possibility of malnutrition;
As for whether the child could show the so-called rosy complexion and arouse other people's suspicion, he never considered it at all;
If you are not convinced, you can report it. Anyway, the things are in the space and it is no problem to investigate. How can it be so easy to investigate if they have been accumulated silently for several years?

This is the case with the Destiny Child. Who gave him the cheating device of space? This is a natural advantage, not to mention that there are still some stocks in the cellar of the house. In general, the He family must be the easiest;
Of course, the Yi family didn't have that much pressure, because Yi Zhonghai was rich. If they didn't have enough food, they could go to the pigeon market to buy expensive food. There were only three people, so it was no problem to have enough food. The Jia family was different. With He Yuzhu's rebirth and the absence of Qin Huairu, things were not going well now.
In the play, the Jia family talks about having a hard time, but in fact, it is not the case. They even live better than most people. Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu are the heroes.
In the drama, Bang Geng feels like eating steamed corn bread cuts his throat, the fattest person in the whole hospital is Jia Zhang, and the ungrateful guy doesn’t even have patches on his clothes. What kind of family is that?

How could it be possible to rely on Qin Huairu's salary alone? This was also the reason why He Yuzhu hated the Jia family, and even more so why he hated his original self;
The Jia family enjoys benefits that 90% of the people in this era do not enjoy, and they also think that Sha Zhu’s help is their due, without any reason. Where does that come from?

With such a large proportion of coarse grains in the food ration, what else can we eat if not steamed bread? And they cut our throats, do you still dislike it now?
Now it seems that the Jia family's series of operations were all caused by Jia Zhangshi, and Qin Huairu just wanted her children to live a better life;

For example, now, Qin Huairu washes dishes just to bring something good for her daughter to eat;

He Yuzhu asked Ma Hua, and Qin Huairu was not greedy. After they finished eating in the cafeteria, what Qin Huairu brought back was enough for Xiao Lingling to eat!
After the grain book and standards were issued, the Jia family was in a gloomy mood. How could they feed the whole family with only 28+6 kilograms per month?
The Pigeon City does not require food coupons, but the prices are daunting. Chun Nier is caught in endless contradictions and wants to send Jia Zhang back!
However, Yi Zhonghai knew the details of the succession, and the relationship between the two had reached a freezing point. What if this person reported it?
When taking over, the steel mill's requirements were simple: Jia Zhang must be supported, otherwise the job would be returned;
I've finally adapted to city life, how could I be willing to go back?
There is another way, find someone to marry into the family, and the child can take the man's surname, but must support Banggeng and Jia Zhangshi;

If you really can't hold on any longer, you have no choice but to get married, otherwise, the whole family will starve to death?

There was a man in the factory who was quite suitable. He was a fourth-level fitter, a widower, and looked OK, but he had a bad temper.

This man's name is Zhang Guosheng, and he has expressed his love for her. It could have gone smoothly, but he hesitated when he thought of Banggeng.
What if the two of them get married and no one cares about Bang Geng and Jia Zhang? Bang Geng is his own son, and as for Jia Zhang, it is related to her job and she cannot afford to make any mistakes;
At this time, Jia Zhang had no idea of ​​Chunni'er's mental activities, and she didn't even know that she was ready to get married.

She didn't even realize that a greater predicament was waiting for the Jia family. She just kept cursing the decision-makers above, saying things like "do not let people live or not". Chun Nier frowned again and again!
"Mom, I won't stop you from going back to the countryside or going to labor reform, but you can't harm Bang Geng, let alone the Jia family;

How can we ordinary people curse at the higher-ups? If someone hears and reports it, our whole family will be in big trouble!" (End of this chapter)
